I have been giving money to mum (or better say, the family) since working. I believe that this is what we should do. Our parents have spent so much on us, no matter time or money. When they get old, we should try our best to take up the responsibility to make the family survive, and let them take rest, and enjoy the life. I am happy to see they buy shoes or fishing equipments for themselves, knowing that those are come from my salary. But to be honest, I don't earn much. In the first two to three years since working, I almost give all my income to them. But it is better now, I can keep some for myself. ;-)

Our parents has sacrifice for us to be a successful person. Just like my mom. Even our father left us, she been very strong to let her 5 children finish their studies. I am very proud of my Mom. Now that we are working, we are making it sure that we are providing her all the things that she needs. In every pay day, we make it sure that she has a share in our salary. It is not importan how big money you are giving her, the most important thing is you remember her and you give her importance. I'm happy for those people who still has father. It is very hard without father.

It depends. Each situation is different. If your family needs money, you give them, if not, there´s no reason to do it. Of course you can geve them nice presentrs, but that´s not the same. As for allowances, I think that when you start working all allowances should end (even if you are Bill Gates´ son).
Your family has given you an education that includes wanting you to be a woman or a man (not an eternal child).

I used to. When I was single. I choose to help with our household expenses and groceries but now I seldom send money because I have to give it to my own family. If ever I have extra, I'm very willing to give and help but now, I'm the one asking for extras to my mom. lol And she sometimes complain but still gives help to us. :)

I have been giving money to them since I started working. And I have not asked them for a penny since I enter the college.
I think it is just a responsibility, they have used their prime time to raise me up, money and time. So, now it is my time to repay them. Giving them a portion of my earnings is just so minor compare to what they have given me in the past. It is not about whether they are still working and earning money on their own or not.
